I need a watch...

[AB]

If it makes those women remove their clothing then I'm not interested at all!

Well it's ordered.

I drew out 57mm on a piece of paper before, feck me it is mahoosive.

57mm is the diameter of many of the instruments in my glider and I can read them from 3 feet away! Are you blind or something?

You do realise these "so called" pilots watches are simply a moden fashion item, most WWII pilots watches would have been around 35mm-40mm and then they'd often be strapped over the sleeve of the pilots shespskin jacket...

Well they way people bang on about them I reckon some people imagine RAF types whizzing around with clocks strapped to their arms... Sherlock

I searched for an image of a subject sporting one arm of length longer than the other, thus to illustrate the point of these horological collosi causing lower arm growth.



It is the year 2009 and this is the only image available on the entire interwebs.

No, I like it because it's different.

I didn't even consider it being or having been a pilots watch or even similar to one.

Who cares.

[RichB]

Fair enough, I don't, but just wondered why Werners call them flying watches?

[AB]

I dunno, but if it sells watches then it's a good thing...

[ShadownINja]

They're in the divers section aren't they?

PS AB, the girls on the customer side of the bar aren't bad!

[AB]

Well the photo is mostly of that Gay Kwon fella, still not a bar I'd want to visit!

[AB]

Absolutely devastated at the 14 day lead time on this.

Aggrrrhhh.

[C8PPO]

Bummer - I had mine in 48 hrs, and only then because I placed the order after Nick had left the office so there was a day's delay.

[ShadownINja]

Some watches come directly from Germany...

[AB]

I think this must be the case. Gutted. I'm going to bloody Germany at the weekend too, oh the irony - we'll probably cross on the way or something.

[ShadownINja]

[AB]

We didn't cross... 6 days or so into the "work on 14 days lead time" period and I'm still eagerly anticipating this one.

Back to Berlin on 28th this month, best be here by then! Or I'll arrange to collect!!

[AB]

Goddamn it, still not here today!

[C8PPO]

Turned up yet??

[cyberface]

How about something truly insane like this?

Yes and it is enormous. Will post a proper pic asap, but all I have it this from first day I wore it!



Oops!! Alcohol is bad.
